Beelzebub: The Demon Prince


 

This action/ comedy story revolves around a teenage boy named Tatumsi Oga. Now he may look rough around the edges because he is. This attends a high school where only thugs and delinquents attend. How the school is being able to run without closing this far is beyond me, but everything is run an anarchy. Their are several big gangs in the school that are all on different levels and to vet to the top you'll have to beat each levels leader.
Anyway, In the beginning of the story they show that everyone is scared of Oga and not just because he has a wary face. Its because no matter who fights him or how many their are he'll always win. He's become so strong that a legend started to form around him and even more people wanted to fight him which doesn't make sense to me because you would think that if you heard about someone being able to beat anybody he comes across that you would stay clear of him. His legend also is kinda weird because they say he's strong, but that he also carries a naked baby on his back and not just any baby the future demon king, Beelzebub or Bel'eb for short.
How he came across Beelzebub was pretty funny. Oga was minding his own business by the river when all of the sudden a large, buff man comes floating down the river. Oga decides to pull him out and when he does the man splits in half to reveal a baby inside. Now if you saw someone split jn half with a baby inside his body, I'd say you have two options: either run and pretend this never happened or look closer and try to figure out what's going on. Of course, our main character is going to choose the latter because then we wouldn't have a story. But, this meeting tuned his whole upside down because not only does little Beelzebub like Oga, but chooses him to be his temporary parent until he is old enough to destroy humanity as we know it.
Oga doesn't want to take on the job because not only will he destroy the world, but that also means that he'll be a father. That's when the beautiful lolita maid Hilda appears. She says to him that he's not suitable to be his parent because he doesn't have the money nor the connections to raise him right, but when she tries to take Beelzebub away from him the baby resists so hard that he ends up creating a electric shock. Seeing that Bel'eb has chosen Oga to be his parent she has no choice but to let him stay with him much to Oga's disappointment. That's how the legend begins.
As the story goes on we can see that they grow closer in their own way and that Oga can understand him even when all he says his 'dah' or 'ah', but uf you combine it with some of baby Bel'eb's facial expressions you don't find it hard to figure out what he's says either. Its pretty funny. Also, when Hilda and the baby came to live in his house his parents thought that he seduced and fathered her child. He can't sag that its not his because not only will he look pike wn as but for some reason they do look alto alike they even have the same eyes. Also, when their thrown in a fight together they'll both get the same facial expression.
When they do fight together it seems that Oga gets stronger and stronger and that's because Beelzebub is lending some if his demonic power to him. Things start to get really weird when a strange tattoo appears on his hand and Bel'eb starts doing strange things on his own like seeing so much he could fill an entire river.
You could say that Oga has got his hands full trying to raise him, fight off enemies and try to put the responsibility onto someone else. According, to Hilda if he can find someone even more evil than him then he can be transferred over, but we all now that's not going to happen. But, that's nite going to stop him from trying. Also, why is it that everyone thinks he's fighting to reach the top in his school. Their the ones coming out of no where and challenging him. Its their fault if they get their butts kicked by him.
Also, I didn't know that their school was coed. The whole time you see nothin but dudes in the school tat you just assumed that it was an all boys school, but that's not the case here. Turns out that the leader of details took all the girls on an expedition to take over another school nearby. Now you think the leader is cold, heartless and a total bass that no knew wants to mess and don't get me wrong she is. What they don't know is that she's also a bit shy and can get easily embarrassed. She also seems to have developed a crush on Oga. But, he's caused ao much chaos in the school that she would rather fight to the death than confess her feelings to him.
I think eventually they'll end up together, but I also think that Hilda will also start to like him and those two will fight to the death to see who gets to keep him. They've already fought once over something little, but I want to another linger fight between them. The story is still ongoing so I can only cross my fingers and hope that happens. I really like this story the only thing that gets me is why Beelzebub is always naked? Can't they at least attempt to put some clothes on him? As the story goes on it gets better and better and funnier too. I would definitely recommend this to all anime fans out there and I hope you also enjoy this action packed comedy.

Full Metal Alchemist

This exciting anime show revolves mostly around two boys named Edward and Alphonse. Now obviously you can tell immediately that the two were put through and awful tragedy that changed their lives forever. But, its not until a little later in the story do you find out how messed up the tragedy was.

According, to the story their mother was a kind woman who was raising them and they haven't seen their father in years. No one even knows where this guy was the entire time. His whereabouts were a complete mystery until hey were revealed in season 2. Anyway, not only is the father missing but the mom is sick and gets sicker and sicker until she finally dies. Now your probably thinking something along the lines of foster care, moving around alot or go looking for their mystery dad, right? Well, then you would be dead wrong.

These boys did none of the above when she passed, instead, they decided to learn alchemy because they heard it could bring the dead back to life. Yeah, like that plan has ever gone right in the past. Also, these two boys seem to be prodigies because they learned everything pretty quickly and it didn't take them long for them to think that they were ready for a resurrection attempt.

The boys, however, forgot I important rule about alchemy and that's equivalent exchange. The rule being that, whatever, your trying to accomplish while using alchemy you need to make sure that you can pay the price. When using alchemy something must be taken in order for to have it. So, what could be the price for returning their mother's life. Apparently, they'll take an arm and a leg literally. Plus his younger brother's entire body. Such, I bet that hurt like a bitch!

Years later, we find the boys now teenagers traveling to find what they call in this story he philosopher's stone which lets the user use alchemy and not have to worry about the price tag. But, here's the thing he stone is practically a myth and everybody wants to get their hands on it. The Eric brothers ( Edward and Alphonse), military, thieves, crazy and cruel murders and beings that were made from the seven sins. As you cam see theirs alot of competition.

My favorite villains are ones that were made after the seven sins. They are so freaking crazy its ridiculous! Also, I would never go near gluttony even if he claimed that he was for once in his life full. That group was always shrouded in mystery, you couldn't figure them out. Or their interest in the Eric brothers.

My favorite good guy besides Edward would have to be the flame commander. He always has that your going to do it whether you like or not look on his face no matter where or what he's doing. I loved the battle scene between Edward and the commander where he showed off his power. Plus their both totally hot! Edward even looks series and more mature looking when he has his hair down.

But, what is with the commander's friend with the glasses? Why is he so obsessed with his daughter? I know she's cute and all, but that's going to back fire on him when she becomes a teenager. I hope that their is a somen kind of extra episode where we could watch that unfold.

This show is totally awesome and it will keep you on your toes the whole way. I'm so glad that they decided to expand its aweomness with making a couple movies out of it. This show is action packed and is shrouded with so much mystery, it'll make your want pull your hair right out of your head while watching the next episode. I have never in my life heard anybody say anything bad about this show. Why?! Because it is awesome and no in can say otherwise. Their is just nothing bad about this show, but I would like to say that if your not a fan of corpses, people getting eaten or being torn inside out or people getting heir limbs chopped off and watching them region then thus isn't for you. But, its still a really epic show and I would recommend this to alot of you anime fans out there to enjoy this show.

Pokemon: The never ending adventure

Pokemon is a very interesting subject for me. I don't hate it, but I don't love as much as some people do. But, whenever, I'm able to watch it on tv I end up being sucked into the story wanting more when the episode is over.

Everyone must know the story of Pokemon by now since its been out for years. The story begins with a brave boy named Ash who is determined to become a Pokemon master. I loved the first episode where Ash meets pikachu, but pikachu doesn't want to work with him at all and refuses to go back into his pokeball. Eventually, these two become the best of friends and are inseparable. Now I don't think this story is going to end anytime soon since they keep putting him in new regions, so he can experience new adventures with new Pokemon and meeting new people.

Speaking of new people, why is it that,whenever, Ash goes into a new region his companions always change? Also, its always two people (one guy and one girl), why is that? I do wish though that Brock would come back into the story, he was so funny when he would fall in love with very beautiful girl that he would see. Also, I kind of miss team rocket blasting off. As the story continued Team Rocket got smarter and more mysterious. Now they wear trench coats with black sunglasses and now use equipment that really makes them a real threat. I remember back in the old days where their only sole mission was to capture pikachu and failed miserably as a result.

One thing I never tire of when it comes to Pokemon is the movies. I love very single one of them and I can't wait until the next one. I also like the video games that they made from them, but I think the storyline is pretty much the same for every single one of them. The only thing that seems to change are the pokemon, charatcers and villians, but the man mission  is still the same.

Also, an interesting fact about Pokemon is that it's not a cartoon its an anime. That means I was a anime fan since I was very little! I was very happy to when I discovered that.

I don't think that they'll be making Ash into a Pokemon master anytime soon because their are so many people, young and old, who enjoy this show. I can't wait to see what kind of movie they'll make next. I definitely recommend this to not only anime fans, but for anyone who enjoys watching cartoons in general. I hope you all continued to enjoy watching Ash during his adventuses as much as I have.

Gwisin Byeologk

This hilarious manga is about a young named Ah-ryoung. Her mother sold Ah-ryoung's body to a demon when she was just a baby, but made the demon wait until she turned 15.

The demon, Nachal, agrees to the mother's terms, but I think later he's going to regret it later.Anyway, at first  your probably thinking," why did her mom sell her daughter's body to a demon in the first place?". Unfortunately, since this story is still ongoing and probably will be for some time it hasn't been revealed yet. But, I think ahem had a very good reason since her daughter has the ability to see ghosts.

It doesn't seem like she seems the mind the ability, but wishes they would leave her alone so she can enjoy her life. Sadly, for her she won't be getting any peace from them anytime soon when she finally turns 15 and opens the gift box that her mom left her and unsealed Nachal who has been sleeping inside of it. Throughout this entire story Nachal has done practically everything he can possibly do into tricking her to go into hell so he can have full rein of her body. His plan backfires every time and to more salt in the mischievous demon's wounds, she strangely becomes stronger and stronger through every encounter. Also, Ah-ryoung seems to like using Nachal as a unwilling punching bag for her ever growing abilities.

Now as time goes by in the story, some of the mystery behind why her mom sold her to Nachal is revealed after these powerful demons from hell come into the their world for the prime purpose of taking Ah-ryoung to hello. This could one of man reasons why she was left Nachal, so he would protect her. Of course, that's not his plan, but he can't possess her body if their is no body to possess. Also, these other beings seem to hate him a lot for the things that he did to them while he was alive. So, he doesn't really have a choice.

Now if you've read reluctant partnerships before then you already know what is coming next. That my friends would have to be slow building bond of love and friendship. We already know ( if you've already read it) that she's going to think that he's cute. Also, I wasn't really that surprised when Nachal ended up saving her life because he wanted to more than because he didn't want her body to be destroyed.

But, when their came a time when she could switch partners, I was happen and sad,happy and scared that she still stuck with Nachal. Happy because she stayed with him,even though, he keeps trying to trick her into going to hell, but sad that she didn't choose the godess of fortune instead. Why can't she have two partners? Anyway, I was a little scared for Nachal after hearing her reasons for why she wanted to stay with him.

For every good ongoing manga out there that I have read so far I say UPDATE ALREADY, we are tired of waiting! I can't wait to see what happens when the mysteries finally unfold and what will happen in Ah-ryoung and Nachal's relationship. If this manga were complete I would recommend this to first timers who are trying get hooked on anime and for anime fans, who like demons, spirits battling it out with a mysterious twist.

Bad boy vs The Prince vs Samurai

As the story went along in the magical tale of Shugo Chara, three boys came along each on,eventually, falling for her. The bad boy, Ikuto, is another person who possess a character but unlike Amu and the rest of the guardians, he uses his powers for evil. He works for Easter and his job is to find the Embryo and make her life and the guardians as miserable as possible. Well, that's what he's supposed be doing instead he likes appearing out of nowhere and bothering the crap out of Amu.

Our next candidate is the princely, Tadase. He's so cute and girly looking that you could accidentally mistake him for being a girl. Tadase also happens to be who Amu was crushing on since the beginning, but after joining the guardians she discovers some weird and disturbing things about him. For example, how he acts when someone calls him a prince really caught her off guard. Besides, the drastic personality change he was really sweet, kind and always thinking about her which might give Ikuto a run for his money. Also, these two boys seem to have known each other a long time ago, which was a really big mystery in the story and explained a lot about why Tadase hated him so much.

Last but not least, Kairi or who I like to call "The Samurai" because of his samurai character. Now I wasn't too surprised when I saw him fall in love with Amu, but already knew that he wouldn't be the winner in this love rivalry. But, I have to give him credit for being persistent. He never gave up even when he found out who his competition was. It actually pushed him to fight harder and confess to Amu first before the rest of them. But, I still think he'll won't win her love in the end. They'll most likely just being friends.

Its never quite clear who ends up with her in the end. I just know that Tadase and Ikuto are neck and neck in the race with Kairi dead last, but he might as well drop out of the race all together. Personally, I'm rooting for Ikuto because I think they would be a good match for each other. Also, who doesn't want to run away with the bad boy? No hard feeling for Tadase, but I think Amu and Ikuto are made for each other. If Tadase ends up getting the girl, I would have to say congratulations, even though, he wasn't my first pick.

I don't know why they left the ending as it was, maybe to keep us guessing? If anybody does know who she ends up with or if they just leave just leave us hanging please let me know. I would very much like to read it.

Thanks for reading!

Shugo Chara

This magical anime is about a girl named Amu who everyone thinks is cool and doesn't really care about anything. But, in the inside she's actually really shy and intimadated by the littlest of things. Amu wishes she could be what she is on the inside and not hide it and that's exactly what she does on night.

The next morning she wakes up to find three colorful eggs laying next to her. She gets so freaked out about it that she even got the idea for a moment she must have somehow laid them like a chicken. Later, when one of the egg's hatches she finds a tiny cheerleader inside saying that she's her 'would be' self. Basically, the little cheerleader represents what she wants to be on the inside.

Its later learned that all children have an egg inside of them which contains their would be self. Eventually, this egg disappears as the child turns into an adult. Also, their are what they call X eggs out their that are born from children that experienced bad things and have let those things change how they act. If an X egg is born it causes nothin but chaos and makes the owner of the egg suffer.

That's where the guardians of Seiyo Elementary come in. Every single member of that club has a character and they can also do what they like to call 'character change' which gives them the ability to turn into their character. Your going to see a lot of personality and outfit changes in this story. Also, they make the cool Amu a member (like we didn't see that comin).

Just to let you know every member is named after a card. Tadase, the leader, is the obviously the king but don't call him that if you know what's good fro you. Nagihiko is the queen, Kukai is the Jack, Yaya is the Ace and Amu is the Joker. According, to them the Joker is a special position. Its the person who can not only track the X eggs, but can also stop and seal them away forever. The main reason why she got the job was because she has three characters instead of one like everyone else.

Each character that she has is a total opposite of the other. Ran is the cheerful cheerleader who is always positive no matter what. Miki is the quiet and humble artist and Suu is the sweet and always smiling cook. I really don't understand how Amu got three and everyone else gets one, but my theory is that Amu doesn't even know what her true self is and even though most people become their character, eventaully, I think that all three make up her as a whole.

Spolier Alert: She gets a 4th character.

This anime is about love, friendship and hope. I think anybody that likes good looking guys and girls that can transform and kick butt would really like this story. Theirs also a lot of mystery behind it and if you have not read or watched it yet, you will not believe who is the evil mastermind behind everything. I hope you all enjoy it.

Captain Esdese


The beautiful warrior goddess that you see before you is named Captain Esdese. She's from the anime Akame ga kiru and is a total bad ass.

Before, she was even revealed in the story I already knew that she was a game changer for this story by seeing all the different and completely terrified reactions from the people who knew her. Even the leader of Night Raid cringed in fear as she suffered terrible flashbacks of when she last saw Edese. The moment I saw her sitting on her throne, her foot crushing the leader of an rebellion's head to the ground while a pile of sowed up dead bodies on stakes propped around her for some strange reason I liked her immeadately.

Just looking at her, you could tell that this anime was about to go to the next level! I was not disappointed. When she came to the empire and ordered to find and kill Night Raid, she gathered a bunch of strong people that were later named The Jaegers. All of them weird, strong and extremely scary in their own right. Night Raid had to be on their toes while the new team The Jaegers was around.

Also, things got really interesting when the king asked her what she wanted for this mission and she said a man. Now I don't know if you already know this, but not only is she a merciless general but is also an extreme sadist. Your going to see a lot it from her in this story.

Anyway, when she asked for the king to help her find a guy, so she can see what it was like to fall in love. I got a strange inkling that she was going to fall in love with Tatsumi and after seeing her requirements for the kind of man that she's looking for, I found out quickly that I was right. You should have seen Tatsumi face when Edese starting putting the moves on him.

Also, dumb and naive Tatsumi thought he could use it to his advantage by making her change sides. Fat chance that was going to happen! But, even though they are on opposite sides and is a ruthless fighter and sadist I kind of want them to get together and since this anime is still ongoing maybe theirs a chance that would happen. Its clear that she loves him, she even made a special move just for him.But, I think that even if Tatsumi stayes on Night Raid's side till the end, I don't think she'll kill him. Hurt badly, yes, but kill him, no.

I can't wait until the next chapter to see what happens next and to see if they get together at all in this epic story.

Thanks for reading and Happy New Year!
